PNNL's expertise in materials synthesis and processing will also contribute to the development of low - cost, high -
capacity electrode materials for advanced batteries with unprecedented energy density and power.
Not exact matches
Plus, after 5,000 charge / discharge cycles, the
material retains a 96.4 percent
capacity, which indicates
electrode stability.
During initial trials with vanadate - borate
electrodes, which were not made with
material coated in RGO, the discharge
capacity dropped drastically after 30 charge / discharge cycles, when the current rate was increased to 400 milliamp per gram.
Standard rechargeable batteries are only marginally suited for high performance: «To raise the energy density, you need to increase the voltage or the
capacity, and that is where traditional
electrode materials and electrolytic fluids reach their limits,» explains the physicist.
The carbon / titanium
material greatly improves the ion's ability to move in the
electrode to provide a high
capacity at high charge / discharge rate.
